@Akshaybk20 @makemytrip @qatarairways @DGCA_India Sorry, but you've got us mixed up. We are Computer Applications in Archaeology. Not the CAA you're looking for!

Congratulations to Santiago Tuflas-Corzén, winner of the #CAAUK2025 Masters Award 🏆 for his paper “Settlement Hierarchy, Coalescence, and Centrality in Iron Age Societies of North-Western Iberia”!

[CAA-UK @caa_uk]

That’s a wrap on #CAAUK2025!

A huge thanks to the Cambridge team for organising & hosting such a fantastic two days of digital archaeology — it's been a brilliant conference.

Safe travels home, and we look forward to seeing everyone again next year!

Now on the final talk of Session 4 at #CAAUK2025!

Our very own Alphaeus Lien-Talks is closing the session with work on AI for digitising archaeological archives and building robust, accessible datasets for future research.

[CAA-UK @caa_uk]

We’ve just had two great papers in #CAAUK2025 Session 4 — Robert Foley on PyLithics and computer-vision for lithic analysis, and Victor Yan Kin Lee on multi-objective clustering for archaeological time series.

[CAA-UK @caa_uk]

A fantastic talk from Sarah Middle with the ADS on digital twins and the ARTEMIS project — exciting to see how digital twins can reshape archaeological workflows.
Next up: Alfredo Cortell-Nicolau with 'Sinumorph', an R package for simulating diachronic shape evolution.
